SENATOR BRANTLEY, made a very
able and common sense speech in
the Senate in opposing the Glenn
bill. Among the many true things
he said are the following:
This bill was introduced simply to break
up the practice of the professors Of the AT
lanta colcred University of teaching their
children. This bill is clearly uncalled fOrs
and there is not single senator on this
floor who apprehends any coeducation OF the
races among his immediate constituents.
i say that when the Legislature is passing
such laws as relates to the private life of the
citizens it 10 opening the door wide for bad
legislation. This bill is unprecedented.
There was never enacted such law as con
tanned in the provisions Of this bill. When
the State furnishes equal accommodations to
the people of both races, then the State
could enforce the provisions of this bill,
AS applied to public schools our constitu-
ton contains this clause which the Uuited
States Constitution does not contain. There
stall be no legislation upon the social
status of the citizens.' why not say that
the white children shall not play with the
black children or go to church together.
They can live together, interchange visits
play together and finally die together, and
do all things except go to school together.

Bishop Taylor has succeeded in
establishing a numEer of successful

these are not supported by any

DEAR SIR thought as am

| would just say 10 you what i'm
pressions they make upon me in
busy New York. They do not
stop to teach one to find ont wheth
err he has ! Negro blood in bis

taurants alongside of the white
men and ladies', chatted with them
enjoyed my repast, paid and walked
out, they bowed politely and re-
quested me to call again. On my
way to Philadelphia the conductor
compelled me to pile right along in
the first cars and in the same seat
with the whites and it did not
seem to cripple the white man
either. | thought then that il the
roughs that threw .Ai~s Morehead
out Of the car had exhibited more

saved the South from some deg
radiation by letting her ride unmol-

that with all of the civil liberties
enjoyed ont here to me, there is no
place that can win my mind from

is the land of nv childhood and no
portion of these U. S. is rs dear to
me as the sweet Sunny South. i
have arrived at this conclusion from

Mr.. Editor agree that we have
much to put up with in the way of

Since writing the foregoing I Just
thought would drop yon another ac'
count of the impressions that are being
made upon me in Philadelphia.
On last Friday night the New Ameri
can Party held NEE ting. 1t was t.
get up planks for their platform, thew
,are ever 50 anxious to have the colored
men come in and take an active
part. One of their plauks is the pro.
lection OF American labOrers But Mr..
Editor having seen the Munster Parade
III Philadelphia Of the Trade Unions
noticed the absence of the American
Negro. | am led to the conclusion
that all of this protective industries
means nothing to the Negro unless
they are going to open their doors to
our sons to become trained in these
various industries. Practically they
make protection work against Us. Then
Of necessity we that are aericuturists
must look forward to free trade until it
is Of interest to US as people to support
protection. We cannot become Demo
Gratis for to be Democrat is to be a
mystery to ones self-they are nothing
they have no fixed principles, only
prejudiced to everything thit tends to
build up the country. Let me illustrate
to you an answering incident at the
American Party meeting. A southern
Democrat sends them a letter of greet.
ing with a wish for their ultimate sue
cess, with the request that they will
inculcate in their principles a platform
these words:- mo one but American
born white men shall ill office" The
members of the new party held up the
letter after reading it and said that it
was the braying of an ass, that mau they
said is not an American in theory or the
fact what is wanted is American for
Americans without any regard for race
or previous condition or servituCe. Mr..
Editor the Republicans up here are
,nxiouS FIR the legi lature to pass the
Glenn bill as vindication of what
they have been saying all the time
about the way the Negro are treated in
the South. But the democrats are
wild over it, they say that the demo-
Gratis BY the Glenn bill have stole their
cause they cannot elect Cleveland or
anyone else if the South fails to fall in
line with the present condition. Mr..
Edit'r those outrages that are being
perpetrated South are doing more to
help he colored people than you have
an idea Of The North sees plainly
that life liberty aud the pursuit of
happiness are really being denied in
that section of these free U. S. They

CONSIGNED TO PERDIT10N.

The Ubiquitous Glenn bill which
would bave placed refined, cultured
ladies on the chain gang for teach
ing white and coIbred children in
the same school received it's final
and destructive blow on Wednes
day last in the Senate at Atlanta.
The coIored newspapers of the
State, with one exception. were
true to principle and succeeded in
arousing public sentiment against
the measure III all parts of the
country. Public opinion was de-
cidedly against it, and it seems
after all that common sense has not
entirely deserted the present rep
resentatives of the people in the
legislature. The mOnstrosity crea-
ted by Glenn's fertile brain which
had passed the House has been
K ed by the adoption of the sub
at . in the Senate by a vote OF
2 to ID.
AS already pointed ont by the
Tribune however, the substitute Is
no better than the original bill and
iiexs ined in all its bearings il will
h found to be more pernicious aud
far reaching in it's effects. The
substitute will now go bach to the
House, and it is to be hoped that
the colored press Of the State will
at once supplement the good work
il has already done by turning it's
united batteries on the foul leglsla

To all Whom it May Concern.

The Conference Year of the N. f. Church
is drawing to a close, and one hundred and
twenty y-six dollars of the Pastors salary re-
mains unpaid. We take this occasion to
remind delinquent members of their unpaid
dues. Come TO the front, and, while paying
your vows to the Lord, remember the tinan-
cIal obligations resting upon the Church
which it Is morally bound to pay, and which
would only require little seif-danlal Of
each one so to do. Let us not consider our
selves members of this organization, unless
we pay according to our means as the Lord
hath prospered us. Come, friends, let us all
be stewards for the coming month. The
Lord hath greatly blessed this part Of his
moral vineyard. Let us show forth our ap-
preciation of these fayors By our iibefaiities
and willingness to lift this debt for WHICH
we have value received. Unless this is i'm
mediately done, the stewards report will be
published, includeiug the names OF the de-
linoent members and those who subcribed

| Ed. Register-After delay of two weeks
| (hoping that something would happen in
these parts worth notlng) I come again with
Il few items.
The weather has been very beautiful since
my last until the 1st inst, when we had a
little sleet followed by cooler weather.
Farmers who had fencing and other work to
do and did not take advantage of the three
weeks of nice weather are left. We should
remember the old maxim, "make hay while
the sun Shines"
D. II. Hartman has returned from Black,
Reynolds county, where he has been visiting
relatives for the past two weeks.
John Goggin, Jr., Edge Hill, Reynolds
county, has rented a farm near Jim Logan
and is moving thither.
Your scribe took a trip to Reynolds coun-
ty last week, and, by the way, passed by the
saw-mil owned by Mr.. Enders. He seemed
to be doing a good BUSINESS, considering the
distance from the railroad. Here we met
with some ola friends and had an interesting
chat. After leaving here we crossed over
on to the lmboden fork of Black river. On
this little stream we found the farmers i'm

ren's Store 2. o.; here We met lively
crowd, most of whom we knew, and we spent
few minutes very enjoyably. The propri-
etor seemed very jovial, as though he was
doing all he wished to. Mr.. d. Lashmint is
one of those kind of merchants who always
has something to say to interest his custo-
mers and the weary traveller. After leaving
this place we wended our way to Black P.O.
On arriving here we learned that John Cog
gin, Sr., would give large oyster supper at
% cents a head and so we concluded to take
this grand festival in, and, to make short
story of it, we never enjoyed ourselves bet
ter. There was over a hundred present and
better supper we never have been permit
ed to partake of as yet. Saturday we went
to a shooting match four miles west of Black,
and there saw several good marksmCn try
their skill. We spent Saturday night with
Mr.. e. W. Hawkins, one of Black rivers
best farmers, and enjoyed ourself hugely.
Monday we started for Belleview by the way
of Ottery fork of Black river. We saw con-
